Good brief. One question though... from getting my Nuclear Energy Merit Badge as a scout, through undergraduate and graduate degrees in Physics, to recently (re)reading "Rickover and the Nuclear Navy", these types of plants were always called Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). Why did you choose to call them "Water-Pressurized Reactors (WPRs)"? I know it seems like a small difference, but I'm interested in what different communities call the same exact thing. Were they called WPRs on your boat?

Nice Jive!

Thanks for another brief Jive, a great example of Soviet ingenuity. Liking the new format and slick graphics too!

Yesssss! So excited for this! One of my favorite subs. Thanks JT!

When the reactor compartment sits in dry dock before defueling, does it stay operational and require a crew? Must it be kept running?

What would cause a primary coolant depressurization other than a leak? Is there any reason an operator would do this on purpose?

I am still working out the details with audio book distributors. There is no price set yet.

Thanks again to Saturnax! So these audiobooks will be available even if the Jive Turkey YT or patreon channel goes down? They're basically archived? Also what is the cost?
